You hear Amanda Fordyce before you see her. This might sound like a strange thing to say about a photographer, but this loud little pocket rocket brings the decibels as well as the pixels to every project she takes on.

She recently mixed a project with Bali and we were lucky enough to steal some of her time and talent away! We completely fell in love with her and her portfolio so wanted to share some of its awesomeness… check this out!

‘Family Album’

The Fordyce Christmas takes place on the family farm out in country Australia. It is a conventional Christmas; big family, oddly dressed relatives and too much alcohol. The family photo album is not so conventional.

For the last 3 years Amanda Fordyce has arrived on Christmas day with a big sack of – not presents - but vintage clothing. Younger cousins pick through the wears and with the help of a few bottles of champagne they have a family styling session.

Outside, on the farmland, they shoot with: bikes, dogs, fresh air and familiar intimacy. Through the older cousins’ lens, memories are spilt and created. Every year, as the subjects get older, they grow into their vintage clothes, befriend the camera and become more candid.

The Fordyce Christmas is a conventional one. The ‘family album’ documents the relationships, growth, aspirations, identity and style of its family members.
